Optical technology
The dnp SuperNova Screen is an optical front projection screen that incorporates advanced brightness and contrast enhancing technology.
The optical system works in two ways.

1. When the image is projected onto the screen it passes through an optical lens system, which focuses and concentrates the projected light before it is reflected back towards the viewers.
2. The lens system comprises a patented contrast enhancement filter that absorbs incident light from windows and room lighting. As a result, the screen is highly resistant to ambient light
   

Optical specifications
The dnp SuperNova Screen provides a typical contrast ratio of 10:1 – in other words ten times higher than the typical front screens contrast levels. The black coating on the contrast filter covers 60% of the screen surface, giving the screen a sleek and extraordinary appearance in repose. With a peak gain of 2.0 the screen is twice as bright as a standard front screen. The half gain values are 20˚ horizontally and 15˚vertically. The screen features an ultra-fine pitch of 0.065 mm, which provides a vertical resolution of 20,000 lines (for a 100” screen in 4:3 format) – and infinite horizontal resolution.

The SuperNova Screen is compatible with all standard projectors, and can be installed like a conventional front screen with the projector mounted on the ceiling or placed on the table. To maximize the effect of the optical high-contrast filter, dnp recommends a projector throw of minimum 1.8:1.

The dnp SuperNova Screen is available in sizes up to 100" in 4:3 format and up to 120" in 16:9 aspect ratio.
